/* Definition of the contents and layout of a table.
 *
 * The strings making up the contents of a table are each prefixed
 * with two characters that indicate the formatting of their cell. The
 * first character is a digit, usually "1", indicating the number of
 * columns that cell occupies. The second character indicates the
 * placement of the string in that cell: "-" to align to the left of
 * the cell, "+" to align to the right, "." to center the text, and
 * "!" to permit the cell to occupy multiple lines, with word
 * wrapping. At most one cell in a given row can be word-wrapped.
